🤔 Oh, look, an iOS developer's existential crisis over a phone nobody wanted, in a love letter to a product only nine months old. 😆 Brace yourself for a riveting tale of a phone that's "weirdly thin" – because that's groundbreaking news in 2026, right? 📱💨

CNET's pondering a 'brown iPhone 18 Pro' with a Motorola Razr twist. The article promises it won't look like... well, you know. I'm all for bold design, but some colors are just asking for trouble. What's the wildest phone color concept you've ever imagined? #Apple #Motorola #PhoneDesign #TechNews

i do wish manufacturers would just go back to making phones with a small footprint instead of giving us windshield-sized screens and an option to "enable one-handed mode".

that's just accepting that they know people like the smaller screen but they can't be arsed to work towards designing something like that.

really. i dont need 120fps or true colour or gamma ray tech. just give me a small screen, good battery, and a headphone jack.

Imagine if an #industrialDesigner fixed this with one simple, but controversial design choice — an extendable #antennea. Only when that #antenna is extended will the phone send and receive a signal.

It needn't be long, maybe 3cm (1.5 inches)?

We would find that a joy to use. Most ppl really don't need to be wired 24/7
